1. What time do the bars in Downtown Disney close? (submitted by Mikey)
The bars close at 2 am most days, though some holidays may impact this schedule.
2. Can I meet the Hitchhiking Ghosts from the Haunted Mansion as a character meet and greet? (submitted by Charlotte)
Sadly, I’ve never heard of them doing a meet and greet. But how awesome would that be?!
3. How many stops does the Red Car Trolley have? (submitted by Melanie)
Two stops if you start from Buena Vista Street (Animation building and end of Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood Land), and one stop if you start from Hollywood Land (Buena Vista Street entryway).
4. What’s the ride you would wait the longest for? (submitted by Chad)
Hmm. Probably Pirates. It’s my favorite ride, and it’s long, so the ratio of minute on ride vs. minutes in line feels more worthwhile than the coasters.
5. How can they sell Mint Julep if Disneyland is an alcohol-free park? (submitted by Kaleigh)
It’s non-alcoholic mint julep!
